Hi, new member here.

I download lots of eBooks from the Project Gutenburg site. They give the option to download "for older Kindles", which is what I have. They download fine.

But my Paperwhite only reads MOBIs, so I understand. When I put the pdf into Calibre and convert it to a MOBI, it works okay. On the Kindle the layout is mostly good, but often it's messed up. Words are randomly hyphenated which don't need hyphens. And whole blocks of text are misaligned on the page.

It's not a big deal, really. They're still readable. But it would be better if the conversion didn't produce these glitches.

So, what can I do about this, (if anything)?

Thanks.
